Lyrics
Grandma, Jesus, and Me
I remember the stories, those old, old stories
That my Grandma would read me at night
From a broken back Bible she kept by her bed
The words were all underlined
From the word of the Father, this silver-haired daughter
Spoke each passage so eloquently
Now a tear fills my eyes, when I think of those nights
With Grandma, Jesus, and me
Chorus:
We would go into battle with David
We would march around old Jericho
We would walk on the water with Jesus (our Lord)
Like Peter did so long ago
Now she?s passed on to glory, and passed down the stories
With the broken backed Bible she loved
And I?ll hold it and pray, that I?ll see her some day
With my Savior in heaven above
So I?m telling the stories, those old, old stories
Like my Grandma did so faithfully
And my heart swells with pride
With my kids by the side
Of Grandma, Jesus, and me
Instrumental
Chorus
So I?m telling the stories, those old, old stories
Like my Grandma did so faithfully
And my heart swells with pride
With my kids by the side
Of Grandma, Jesus, and me
Grandma, Jesus, and me
